what is equivalent to desc

Hi,
I want to select my database at run time(oracle or sql or access or...)
But to get description of database objects what I have to do.
Is there any method similar to DESC in oracle which I can use with all the Databases.
thanks
gana

Did you try using ADOX (should be able to work with any DB, as long as your connection string is right).

I'm not sure if you can do that from SQL/Oracle, but I know you can from Access (Using DAO, I think).
